I was raised Catholic (Catholic grade & high school) but I now am a Christian and go to an Evangelical Free church. It’s conservative and teaches the word of God.
I really think highly of Pope Francis because he is tearing down the wall of separation between Christians; Catholic and Protestant. One of the things that drew me away from the Catholic Church was hearing that only Catholics are going to heaven. The bible teaches it’s not your denomination, but believing and accepting God’s gift of salvation; and when we trust God with our lives we walk in His ways and not the ways of the world we are in God’s will.
I think, Pope Francis is humble and walks with God. He is not just a figure head that other pope’s have been. He is not concerned about politics, but what God thinks. Jesus told us to love one another and spoke of a house divided will fall. Maybe we will see a revival, not from protestants, not from catholics, but in all God’s children.

Could be said of the Catholic Church. Actually most Protestant/non-Catholics endorse contraception, whereas the Catholic Church stands staunchly agaist it.
